Restaurant owner serves free meals to the elderly for 27 years and counting

Buzz
An ox-bone soup restaurant located in Jung-gu, Seoul is receiving much attention.  It was revealed that the owner Lee Soon Ja of 'Moon Hwa Ok' restaurant had been serving free lunch meals to the elderly since 1990 inviting approximately 100 guests every day.


It was stated that Lee served a total of 32,000 free servings every year to the elders in the neighborhood, calculating to around $230,000 worth of food.


The reason Lee decided to volunteer with such a kind act was due to her mother-in-law.  She commented, "My mother-in-law took great care of me. Whenever I see elders I always think about my deceased mother-in-law."


After her mother-in-law passed away, Lee volunteered at the Euljiro-dong's Saemaul Woman's Community Center where she visited a senior citizen center and decided to serve free bowls of ox-bone soup after finding out the elders there weren't having lunch on a regular basis.


Lee commented, "Seeing the condition they were in, I wanted to serve them a warm meal."


She added, "I would like to continue serving and would like everyone to be happy after eating food that I have prepared myself."
